I was looking for pointers on this specific question to help with mating multiple printing parts. Thanks for the tip on MEK Substitute, will try to grab some at home depot to test out.

Thanks for the tips. It turns out that the code changes recommended were already in the fork so what I ended up doing was take a dremel and rounded off the micro switch case edge where it was...

I got the 10" i3v with the relay and it only takes about 4 minutes for the hotend and between 10 - 15 (110) minutes for the bed. I take the hotbed to about 106 because the bed struggles to keep a...

After some more googling, starting from a fresh version of Dacb's MakerFarm fork of Marlin firmware a few times, and using different versions of Arduino for flashing (on 1.0.5-r2 currently) I still...

My #define Z_SAFE_HOMING was turned on but earlier in the morning when I turned it off per a users post, the printer did probe the rear right bed corner, but after, since I was having the front of...

I set-up ABL on a 10" i3v this morning with the firmware in the first post of this thread. My issues I'm running into so far are:

- My bed origin has always been on the rear right bed corner...

I would have this issue when the filament was coming off the spool, sometimes it would bind on the spool a little, just enough to cause the issue. If the extruder is struggling to pull the filament,...

I found some cork board sheets at staples that was about 5mm thick that I used at first but it was too thick and didnt allow enough room to clamp the glass to the heat bed using binder clips and the...

I accomplished the same result with my 10" also....but instead of cutting the corners myself, I made a cardboard template of the heat bed with the corners cut diagonally to make room for the screws. ...

Got a few new filament spools that arent compatible with the stock spool holder, but are compatible with the mod introduced in the first post of this thread...see pics

Yep...if you dont have a fan on the hexagon, heat will rise up into the aluminum spacer that the extruder block sits on...then the extruder block may soften and warp from the heat.

I meant why the link isnt available on the site.... The video just serves the purpose of how to get the Arduino software to do the actual uploading of the 10" firmware downloaded from the link I...

I had this same issue, couldnt get the printer to use the full 250mm X 250mm bed. Emailed Colin about it and he said I most likely have the 8" i3v firmware and he gave me a link to download the 10"...

You should be able to make adjustments using a ball ended allen wrench, I use this type to adjust the screw easily. Adjusting using pliers sounds like a pain...but it sure still beats the stock...

Be sure to monitor the temperature of the extruder motor because it can warp the extruder block making it useless. Its good you already printed a spare, I wasn't so lucky.


Your endstop worked...

I have the 10" i3v kit. All of my motors get hot when printing PLA or ABS. All of the motors are also at the recommended voltage. I turned the voltage down on the extruder motor from 0.39 volts to...

Please share that STL file. I printed this popular Z-endstop mod (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:336665) but the X-Carriage rails on the 10" i3v extend much further past the right vertical rail...

How much more room (inside width) does the spool holder need to fit the wider spool? If you have something like a belt sander, you could shave some of the inside thickness of the spool holder to...

I have been running the new Maker Farm 10" i3v Kit for a while. As far as I understand, recently it starting coming with a spool holder, but the holder wasn't working out that well for me so I had...

Appreciate the tips, I ordered the z flexible shaft couplings with the four set screws. The kit is scheduled to be delivered on Tuesday...

Thanks for all the info the links. I went ahead and bought the MakerFarm Prusa 10" i3v Kit. After looking at various available printers/prices for several days to find the best deal in regards to:...

Thanks for the reply...

I am also looking into what I need (extra cost and materials) to be able to build this type of printer using the separately sold 12" X 12" bed because I plan on using this...

This model may become my first 3D Printer...

Are there any disadvantages for a bigger bed size other than larger footprint and higher power consumption?
